Artist's description:

Autumn is misty in New Zealand and I love the way the light glows, especially over water. I came across these ducks in a lake one early morning.

Clicking the shutter in the first stage in a process of producing a print like this. The image will be worked on in post production to bring out the emotion in the photograph. I try and create a mood which is communicated with the viewer.

For those interested in the technical issues, I print all images myself on to mold made paper from Hannemeulhe. The company was founded in 1584 in Germany so they know a thing or two about paper!I use Epson Ultrachrome inks which are archival quality. Expected life before any fading is 100 years under UV glassFor information on my ink and paper combination see: http://www.wilhelm-research.com/WIR%20Hahnemuhle_2008_10_20%20/Hahnemuhle%20Inkjet%20Papers.htm

Materials used:

Paper is the most important element in a print and I have spent many years printing on different papers. I now print exclusively on Hannemeuhle "William Turner" mould made fine art textured paper 310 gsm.
